Circulation, of course, reveals the congealed acid trips that compose up to 7% of the alloy. Report this Post to the Staff

Sure wouldn't want to "loose" that coloring... Edited by LincolnGuy 10/08/2013 8:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I have had fun doing this when bored, only I just release them back into circulation for the curiosity of others. Uncirculated copper nickel coins look hilarious when heated to red heat, then dropped into water. Sometimes the checkout chicks won't even accept them! Report this Post to the Staff

It's already been treated. Look at the "Detailed Item Info" by David Hall that he includes in the listing. Can he do that? It almost appears that THAT is his description. Very deceiving...and already up to $75. Report this Post to the Staff
